Braces for Children and Teens

We are expert smile makers for children and teens. We're proud to offer orthodontics for young people because a happy, healthy smile contributes to positive self-esteem.

We recommend that you schedule a free orthodontic consultation for your child at around age seven. Diagnosing and treating problems early may help prevent future orthodontic complications.

We suggest an early evaluation to:

• demonstrate that orthodontists are friends, not foes
• prevent more serious problems from developing
• correct harmful oral habits
• guide the growth of the jaw and permanent teeth
• expand the palate to avoid tooth extractions
• establish the orthodontic foundation to build beautiful smiles

Orthodontic treatment may be necessary for conditions including:

• crooked or protruding teeth
• crowding of teeth
• jaw misalignment, improper bites
• overbites and underbites

Dana Orthodontics can provide you with preventive as well as aesthetic help. Schedule a free consultation and we'll tell you about the treatment options that will give your son or daughter the best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile.
